Steady Coma

»sleepstep« is the first collaboration between raster-noton and dasha rush. the record‘s subtitle »sonar poems for my sleepless friends« describes its underlying concept – »sleepstep« is a trip through electronically alienated microcompositions and sound collages that, interwoven with text passages, aim at creating a dream-like atmosphere.

the stations of this journey are striving for oblivion of time, an immersion, a drifting in universal states – death, life, birth, grief, desire. the titles often appear to be raw sketches, fugitive, surreal short stories that rather want to break open than execute.

the musical arrangement, in this context, can be described as rather subtle and fragile. though electronically manipulated, no production technique is pushing itself to the fore. and though clichés are not dreaded, »sleepstep«, as a result, stays away from being cliché. the sonar poems for her sleepless friends are feminine, subtle and personal reports. a musical dream journey in the form of a classical concept record – an album that also stands in the tradition of ambient music.

dasha rush is already known as a techno dj and producer. here on »sleepstep«, she celebrates her alter ego. the cd version comes with a 32-pages booklet that also shows her photographic interest and includes the aforementioned poems written by her. furthermore there is 2 x 12" vinyl version.

Cannibal Ink - Le Petit Prince

Experimental spiral oscillator (x 2, slightly detuned) + fixed LPF @ 11.8kHz. Oscillator takes y-value of 2d spiral equation to produce waveform (with PolyBLEP to smooth). No filter modulation. LFO is only used to modulate number of spiral turns/twists (0.5 - 3.5)

Varg - Náströnd

She had realized the mood organ deprived her of “sensing the absence of life.” The depression drug allows her to wallow in the hopelessness of earth’s predicament after World War Terminus.

Available now at Dystopian.de pressed on limited edition blue vinyl inside a full color jacket..

MODULAR EXPANSION PODCAST #065 | DRUMCELL

Soundtrack for the 4th placed 4k intro at Breakpoint Demoparty in Bingen, 2010.
Made completely using 4klang synthesizer. 4klang.untergrund.net/

Stanley Cubic (Fan-Tastic)

Best enjoyed with headphones! Recorded live set in hotel after last minute tech issues during my lecture. Turned out the Korg nanoKontrol lost its configuration earlier - such a shame, was looking forward to hear it on big speakers! :)

Synth is running on a £35 STM32F746-DISCO board and also implements a 2-track 8-step sequencer w/ interactive controls for osc waveform, filter, env, delay, LFO and global transpose all via Korg nanoKontrol... Activated notes are randomly picked from a fixed scale (only once, not random at every invocation)
